Ole Miss Relay For Life Gets Festive

   After months of planning, Relay for Life at Ole Miss is here.  The theme for this year’s event, which is raising money to support cancer research, is holidays, with each team using a different holiday theme to decorate their space. 

   Relay for Life, which is an annual event, is bringing support from all areas of campus life, including Greek organizations, student groups, and independent students forming their own teams.

   “Students have really taken great initiative in participating in this event.  We have students participating from all parts of campus, and all types of people are taking part,” Amber Ward, one of the event’s coordinators, said. 

   The event will take place on April 13^th and 14^th, from 6 PM on the 13^th to 6 AM on the 14^th.  For the duration of the event, participants will be walking the course, fundraising at their tents, and hosting food and entertainment.

   The planners of Relay for Life hope that this event is a big success, and that plenty of people come out to support research for curing cancer.
